SKIPPY – A1056914

***SAFE 11/20/15***SKIPPY was found out of the Finders’ building and they kept him a few days then brought him to the ACC. Guess they didn’t realize that it’s a matter of LIFE or DEATH now for the 3 year old! He was quite the charmer during assessment and earned a PERFECT BEGINNER rating! PLEASE offer to FOSTER or ADOPT SKIPPY. He didn’t deserve to be brought to this place and didn’t deserve to wait on living or DYING here!

11/15/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I glanced up at the top corner kennel in Cat Castle, the large cat room at the Manhattan Center. Sitting and looking very observant, interested, and friendly was this handsome black and white cat. I went up to say hello, and was very glad that I had. Skippy came in as a stray so we don’t know his past, but he definitely loves people. I pet him and was rewarded with many purrs and just as many head butts. A great friend and companion awaits, he has been rated a beginner cat, but don’t let that stop you if you’re an advanced cat parent.
